Dad's Decision Not To Be Treated for Cancer Upsets Daughter
Photo credit Matteo Vistocco
Dear Carol: There’s probably no right answer to what I’m asking but I felt the need to write, just for comfort.

I want him to go full-on with every treatment possible. I watc...

I Got My Whole Genome Sequenced. Here ’s What I Learned.
Dante Labs sent me their Full DNA whole genome sequencing package, and I went through a roller-coaster of feelings: I was excited to know every secret of my cells, but I was afraid to get to know my hereditary cancer risks and worried what I might find. As in my case, (scientific) curiosity usually overrides fear, I jumped into the unknown and I’m eager to share my results here.
Whole genome sequencing is available to anyone. So what?
The human genome is the blueprint for building a person. When the Human Genome Project was completed in 2006, and the DNA double spiral uncovered its secrets for the very first time, scient...

A Popular Science View of Checkpoint Inhibitor Cancer Immunotherapies
Checkpoint inhibitor therapies are a demonstrably successful approach to cancer immunotherapy. They suppress a mechanism that normally restrains immune cells from attacking other cells. This mechanism is abused by cancers, alongside a variety of other ways in which the immune system can be subverted or quieted. Any advanced tumor tends to have evolved into a state in which it is ignored or even helped by the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitor therapies are an improvement on chemotherapy when it comes to the trade-off between harming the cancer and harming the patient, as well as in the odds of success, but still present r...
